DANTE AND AMARA! soulmates. meant to be. chained together by that red string of fate. THIS was a very emotional journey. i knew it was a forbidden love story, yet i was still sitting there screaming, crying, throwing up when they couldn’t be together. runyx, you have once again gotten me into a chokehold. 

i loved dante in the first two books and the emperor confirmed that he is in fact the most husband to ever husband. a man who is in tune with his emotions and will do anything for the person he loves? exactly. and my dearest darling amara. my sweet girl. my heart absolutely broke for her. i don’t want to spoil anything but let’s just say there were several times where i wanted to jump into the story and give her a big hug. also let me just add that i think i’m the biggest vin fan like runyx if you ever want to write a little spinoff story with him feel free to use me as inspo for the fmc. 

this book wasn’t as suspenseful as tristan and amara’s story, but it held so much emotion and was just as heartbreaking. while i did enjoy dante and amara’s story, i kind of thought that the book drug a bit at the beginning. i liked that we got to see dante and amara as kids and how their friendship blossomed into romance, but i think that since the ending of the reaper was so intense and left me with so many questions i was ready to jump straight into unraveling what happened next. i am glad that we were able to see dante and amara evolve both as individuals and as a couple though because it gave me the chance to better understand them. 

NOW…… it wouldn’t be me if i didn’t point out how cute tristan was throughout this book. i loved the little peeks of his friendship with dante and the subtle ways he took care of amara. AND THE TRISTANMORANA CRUMBS. i love them. 

also loved that we got little hints of alpha and the shadowman because now i’m dying to read their books!

i love this series !!!
